[Galaxy S I9000 General] onbacardi:
Hi,

I live in Australia. I bought a SGS from UK. It has nothing changed in firmware its the same as it comes from the box. (just a few games and apps installed from the android market).

My problem is when I connect the SGS to my laptop through the USB cable and I chose "PC INTERNET" I get a connection but i get a lot of drop outs, I would say being honestly every 5 minutes my connection drops. I live right in the city and my phone has good reception so its not the reception.

I haven't tried teethering (i dont wanna teether coz mobile plans says, NO teethering).

What can I do to fix the drop out connection problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
if you are using your internet via the LAPTOP over the USB cable, then you need to figure out WHY your LAPTOP is not connecting properly to the Internet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onbacardi:
it takes about 1 min to connect and when it connects i choose HOME connetion. than it works good for 5 mins and it drops out and reconnects itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] flamingpitofhell:
Correct me if I've read your post incorrectly but isn't what you're doing tethering?

From Wikipedia: "Tethering is the use of a mobile device such as a mobile phone to supply Internet access for another device which is otherwise unconnected, using the mobile device as a modem. This can be done through Bluetooth wireless technology, Portable Wi-Fi hotspots, or cables (such as USB)."
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onbacardi:
well yes and no...

it is teethering but carriers cant prove that.

however

if i do select teether on my phone it says something like this option will use black hole date or something (from my understanding is that it will use different data to my free date) so i choose to try the cable connect than select interent connection.

anyways the problem is still there... has anyone got any solutions or give me some ideas?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
are you trying to use your phone as a modem or not?

if you are, then we can help you there are many ways to do it.

but if you are doing the opposite, using your laptop internet, for your phone to access internet (which doesn't make any sense at all) then we can't help you as it's a laptop problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onbacardi:
im trying to use my phone as a modem but in a way without carriers finding out im actually using my phone to teether.

my problem is that my connection keeps droping every 5 minutes for 10-30sec.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stickfinger:
I use my Galaxy as a modem and I had nothing but hassle when connecting using the cable. I found out its far better to go into settings then wireless settings then switch mobile AP on. Your phone sends the connection over wifi to the pc and gives me no hassle at all.

I reckon the only way your service provider would know is by looking at how much data you use so just be careful and you should be fine. Or find out what your monthly limit is and put a data counter on the phone, I use Netcounter, its free and simple but gives the info you need like daily, weekly and monthly usage :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yup, the wireless method is by far the easiest one, and best of all it is build in! :)

as for your cell phone provider finding out, regardless of what you do, they don't care, they only check how much data you used up, and charge you that amount
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onbacardi:
well im on 1gb per month. Plenty of data there.

I tried another method today: turn bluetooth on and connect through bluetooth and that seem to works perfectly. I was online for 3 hours without dropping once.

Now I`m wondering why was it dropping with the cable connected? And not even once through bluetooth!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] codemanat:
I understand your Problem, but at time i reading your last Post i have an question.

I understand your Posts that you dont use Wireless thether becouse your Carrier dont Allow Laptops to Acces Wireless conections right?

But it makes no difference if you use the cable or a wireless conection to thether your Internet. If you surf under the radar you dont getting into troubles. And there is no blackhole Data when you tether wireless. Its a gprs, edeg, 3g or umts Connection and your Phone manage this automaticly. So now comes my question. Why you dont use the build in wireless tether function which is the fastest and easiest way to connect. You dont need the phone directly near the laptop, you can give it to the point of best data connection, okay and a powerstrip for the akku. But its much faster then the Bluetooth connection, becouse of wlan.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onbacardi:
"And there is no blackhole Data when you teether wireless"

From now on I will use the AP to connect. I thought the carriers (OPTUS) might find out. But since they can't find out than this is the best option. Thanks for confirming they cant find out weather I connected my laptop or just used the date from my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] codemanat:
This remind my at the old days where you share your internet connection thru a soho rooter or just another pc with 2 network cards built in. In these early days the Provider says its forbidden to use the connection for more pcs than one. But in fact they never could meassure this and no one ever gets an letter from them or an contract decline/service interuption. The truth is, that there was a kind of law process against them and now the isp's is forbidden to limit the usage of your internet connection to only one device. So that means not that you get unlimited numbers of ip adresses, but you can NAT as much devices you want. Now you get from every ISP a Preconfigured router if you like.

And the same will hapen over a pariod of time to the wireless providers as well. Its your connection so you can use them the way u like it. Its already happend here, you can buy umts router for your home.

Where i live there is no question like this. Just do it. But maybe its becouse of our mentalogiy. If somone says no the typical austrian will do it anyway and gives no dime to what others say. If no one forbid you something then its allready allowed to do. ;-)

Greetings to Australia (the country with the kangaroos) like we here in Austria say. lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onbacardi:
Thanks for that info. That takes my concerns/stress away. Just didn't wanna receive a thousand dollar bill that's all I cared ;)
[Touch HD General] mark1948:
In my car the Touch HD automatically connects the Bluetooth hands free but I have to turn the Wireless Audio Off and then back On again on the Touch HD before it connects to the car head unit (Sony BT 2700). Not major but anoying.

I have tried Nokia N95, N97 and a few others and they automatically connect both the the Wireless audio and the hands free but not the Touch HD. I had thought it was a ROM issue but since I have just flashed it with [ROM][07.07.10][WWE]blackSTONEhenge™ HyPer v2.0 (WM6.5.3.28236) M2.5.2016 (released) the problem hasn't fixed itself and so I am not sure where the issue lies.

Any ideas how to get the Touch HD to Automatically reconnect the wireless Audio then guys.........
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
Not sure if this is even possible but, my wife has just got a Samsung Galaxy S.

Overall the phone is quite nice, but while playing with the camera I came across the panoramic photo setting.

This is simply stunning.... the camera basically takes a series of 8 photographs, BUT this is the part - it tells you were to line the next picture upto, but I mean flawlessly and very quickly.

The stitching of the actual photograph in the end is fantastic.

I'd love this function on the Nexus, if you have played with one you won't grasp how easy and quick this function is. The best I've ever seen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Fadakar:
Did you take the attached panorama? That's amazing!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
Yep, taken with the Samsung in about 2 seconds.... bloody brilliant.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mudrock1000:
You know...for most of the Samsung Galaxy features I say "If you want it...go buy one" However this is something, personally I would love to see. It'd be fantastic to have so this earns my bump of approval.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
Any other great features like touch focus and settings like htc desire cam?

If yes I'd rather get this cam instead of desire cam for 2.2 :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
Yes, it has quite a few nice features.

It has a decent selction of scenes.

Backlighting, Black and White...etc.

The macro mode is also very decent.

It has the touch screen focus also, so where ever you touch the screen it focuses on that point.

It has blink detection, but I haven't seen face detection as yet (trying to get it out of my wifes hands! :D)

I think on reflection I would have this over the Desire one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
Sounds great!! Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chopes:
I'd throw down a donation for this...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eclair~:
If the Desire camera could be ported, then maybe this could be done just as well?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chopes:
I sure do hope so.... lemme know if anyone plans to start work on this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mattguzman73:
Want this

BUMP!!

I too would be willing to donate to get this!!! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully it can get done!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
I'd throw down on a donation as well..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
Guys,

I've been playing with my wife's Galaxy for a while now and it's brilliant.

The camera is stunning, HD video recording is super stunning.

The Music is awesome and with the EQ settings and different 'scene' like live music and concert hall, even 5.1ch!

It's bloody fantastic in some ways, I think I'm going to sell my Nexus and get one!

The stupid part?!? I have a 16Gb unlocked one here on my table that I sold tonight - doh!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
Just horrible there is no camera flash wtf were they thinking lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
I know, that's what I keep stumbling on.

Can I live without the camera flash and the trackball notifications? :D

The Samsung takes VERY good pictures in low light on the correct setting, however you have to keep it still for as the shutter is open a long time in comparison.

The pics I took oon the Nexus with the flash were quite washed out anyway.....Hmmmmmmm, decisions, decisions.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
that picture in the OP is amazing.

this feature would be nice if ported to the nexus.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] brianius:
Nice idea! Btw my old htc trinity on winmo 5 had this function, too.

Wow and now I'm dreaming of a "sweep panorama" function of the new sony cams ;)

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] z3ntn3l:
I want the Panorama-Feature too on the Nexus :)

By the way: Its not that stunning. Done on Windows Mobile 2 Years before with the same "it tells you were to line the next picture upto, but I mean flawlessly and very quickly."... But its still a nice Feature ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
id be happy with it :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chopes:
As would I :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
I'm in for a donation for this as well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Raadius:
The HD2 has this feature as well, pretty nice. I'd donate to get it on my Evo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sal87:
bump id like to see this done
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] haxzamatic:
I would love to have this camera too, that pic in the OP is awesome :) If all your after is panorama there is a app called photo stitch in the market. Not sure how good it works though...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] x986123:
Hopefully Gingerbread will bring us this feature and many others, like EQ in the media player! (Galaxy S has one)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Christopher3712:
I suppose this thread died but...

Is there anyone willing to port Samsung Galaxy S to N1? That would give us the camera, right?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sd00:
Looks pretty good - found a vid showing how it works...

[YOUTUBE]P8M_ZS5YF2s[/YOUTUBE]

I would like this on my nexus one.

ps, i'm very tempted to sell the nexus one for a galaxy s - if only it had a flash!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pzumk:
Thanks for the video! Impressive
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bewA:
wow that would be quite awesome to have! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] clampi:
can the op pull the camera apk so we can start? lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DToX69:
Here I pulled the apks from the vibrant dump i have
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bewA:
I would say its going to be pretty difficult to get this working as the hardware is so different!

With the nexus and desire the cam port was difficult enough and they were identical hardware!

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DToX69:
Yea I agree but I hope it can be done I really do
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shafter09:
This will be amazing. I'm a pano junkie but unfortunately iPhone has all the best pano apps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bedwa:
Hmm...... I've got the captivate source on my computer at home. Time to pull up the nexus one camera source and compare.... I'm curious now.....

That or look at the app builder. ;)

I'll look into it as I have the time.... :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
awesome...good luck :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SabrWolf:
where can i get the captivate source?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] _-..zKiLLA..-_:
+1 for this. That is an amazing feature
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] b0dge:
Also interested and willing to donate... :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DToX69:
Bump willing to donate :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DBBGBA:
Also the droid x has a similar function.

to be honest something like the new sony point and shoot camera could be also written, but I guess it's easier to get the code from somewhere else!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dnsmo:
count me in the donation if ported
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Baldyl0cks:
+1 for donate
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lionsson:
I think the Samsung Epic had this feature, but it haves a flash LED
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xm0is3sx:
i know this is old but anyone ever had this work? or is there an app on the market that can do this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] steezedout:
Would also donate. Anyone working on this
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] goncalossilva:
Any news on this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DToX69:
I hope someday someone will try and port it, I would work on it but have no idea how to even start :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
i prefer the vanilla lockscreen but i like sense after i unlock.

im running nfinite45x's stock .6 rom with v4 710 oc kernel. is there any way possibly to achieve the vanilla lockscreen?? thank you
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
I can't say for sure if the vanilla lockscreen is included in nfinite45x's stock rom, BUT, you can try this to see if it works:

go into command prompt on a windows computer and type

adb remount

then type:

adb shell mv /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk.bak

then type:

adb reboot

If it worked okay, then YaY!

If it did not work and you're stuck with a broken lock screen or nothing at all, then keep u'r phone on where it is, get back in and do the following:

adb remount

then type:

adb shell mv /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk.bak /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk

then type:

adb reboot

Now, you're HTC Sense lockscreen should be back to normal again :) Hope that helps some. Again, I'm not sure if the vanilla lockscreen is included in the stock rom... so, as always, nandroid u'r rom first. Happy coding!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raz699:
That will not work with the nfinite stock rom to get the vanilla lock. If you look under that rom you will find people working on it but no solutions have worked. He announced a new version for later this week, maybe he will add it but not sure if its possible, something to do with the .6 framework. Someone in the forum got the vanilla rotary lock to work somehow though.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
thank you...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Easily done. Pull the android.policy.jar file from the newest fresh rom and push it to ur phone then delete the htclockscreen.apk from ur phone. U can do the same thing with the rotary lock from my blue echo rom. Then to get the oc u can dl darchshiz #4 or #15. Difference is #15 has undervolt included. Find it in the development forum
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
that easy huh? enter adb and push? then rm htclock? im using #4 and my device is super fast/responsive.

wait, can i get the policy file via windows? i dont have to install fresh...?...

thanks!

edit: im using infinite's .6 odex version...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
U might have to find fresh rom that is odexed and pull the file from there but yeah u can open it from windows using 7zip. Go to system/framework and ull find it there. Then push via adb to the same place. I know fresh had an odexed version of his ron out. Its not .6 its .5 but there isn't any difference with the android policy files. I'm using the rotary lock from a .5 version on my .6 rom and there is no differences
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
Well if papa smurf says...

alright then the search is on for an odex fresh...seems like the first step

edit: thanks for the help. hopefully ill have the vanilla lockscreen tonight
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tibedabeeto:
I have nfinite45x rom and have the vanilla lock screen. I have had it since I downloaded his rom. I have the deoxed version, so dont know if this method will help but....

Do option 2, thats what I did and it is working fine. Do a nandroid before trying just in case.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
I've been going through so many posts about the good an bad features of the X10 I thought maybe we should have a thread where we could actually agree on something?

If SE were to release a future device based on the X10, say the X20 what should they change?

I would say:

Give up a little sexy and go for a 1800-1900mAh battery.

USB connection on the bottom (docking station would be nice to use)

4.3 inch AMOLED screen (may help the battery issue right off the bat)

Front facing camera

Better battery cover (not sure how many times this one would come off before breaking one of those tiny tabs)

Android 2.2 at very least

Better colors .. Deep Red or Steel Blue. Yup, Pretty Pink for you ladies.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
How could I forget, In-Call volume
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
i think x10 actually got the space to hold a bigger battery.

maybe SE just doesn't want to develope a new battery and simply give BTS-41 which is used on x1
[XPERIA X10 General] vrs2610:
the xperia x10 is a good device if you know how to use it. So far many of the problems have been fixed with third party add ons except for multi touch and the in call volume.

If the X10 2 does comes to Canada am going to my Rogers store and gonna ask for a discount.
[XPERIA X10 General] ClintonH:
Incoming call volume is a none issue with mine after the 023 firware update.

Multitouch is not an issue at all?? I have no idea why there are so many hung up on that. The one finger zoom looks to be a way better option.

Good luck getting a discount from Rogers.:rolleyes: LOL
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
You guys forgot the most important thing...access to the bootloader :P.

Also, I've seen some aftermarket batteries for sale for the X10, I don't know if anyone here's tried them though...? I know there was an 1800mAh battery that is the same dimensions as the current 1500mAh one, and there was a 3600(?) mAh battery that needed a special case so it could fit.
[XPERIA X10 General] ClintonH:
We have access to the bootloader.
[XPERIA X10 General] yetep:
The way I see it is that 1.6 is a great platform to learn from and work on. The x10 suffers from software flaws.. pretty much nobody will critisize the hardware capabilities of it. The x20 doesn't even have to be released, just an x10 with better software and way less bundled stuff like mox :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
My call volume hasn't gotten any better with the 023, rooted.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
My 2600mAh Cameron Sino is on the way ... hope it's not TOO big.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Moxier was the first to go after the root was done.

I wanted to get rid of Timescape as well but a number of people have said they have messaging problems after removing it. I stop all Timscape activity with a Startup Auditor and that hasn't caused me any problems.

I would have:

- a back microphone (like the Nexus One) for background noise cancellation

- a Sony Ericsson original table stand (like the Aino)

- USB connector not on the top of the device

- optical zoom

- a real flash

- multitouch

- front camera

I bought a "rooted"phone, but I never used android before. I'm guessing the build number? Mine is FRF91. What are some benefits of rooting?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
FRF91 is just the version of Android.

Best way is to see if there is an app installed called Super User. Other than that, try downloading an app that required root. Just search for riot on the market.

Search if you want to know what root is for. If you're new, I suggest not rooting your phone.
